Lost 1.2lbs this week. I am proud I did not gain. It has been a challenging week - mainly just life. I was out of town for a few days - no gym and some eating out. Then we had family in town with some eating out. But I knew going to weigh in that it would be a slow week. I have to say that my lesson this week is that sometimes life doesn't go as planned and I can do one of 2 things:1. Improvise when possible - like go for a walk where I am, make best possible choice of food if I am eating out, etc.,2. If I make mistakes see the next meal or opportunity to exercise as a new day or a new choice. I don't need to wait until tomorrow to start fresh. and if I do I just need to make sure that I keep going.

The desire for me is a lifestyle change. So some weeks will be worse than others but I don't in anyway see last week as bad. I ate out almost everyday last week, went to the gym only 2 days and still lost a pound!!! GOOD FOR ME!! :)Oh and I forgot to mention that a box of Krispy Kremedoughnuts resided in my house this weekend and I did not even take a single nibble!!!

Krispy Kreme is my achilles' heel...blueberry filled has me wrapped around its powdered sugar fingers (if it were a person, of course :)! Congrats on losing a pound but mostly for having right perspective!!

I started a Pilates video this morning...let's just say the "Climbing the Tree" pose looked more like fallen timber...not pretty!
